Benefits of technology

This patent describes a pneumatic tire that can be stronger while also being lighter. The technology achieves this by reducing the amount of rubber in certain areas of the tire, such as the closed region surrounded by the body and turned back portions of the carcass layer. This reduces the weight of the tire while maintaining its strength. Additionally, the technology provides an appropriate gauge for the rim fitting portion and an appropriate radial height for the self-contact portion of the carcass layer, resulting in a more durable tire.

Problems solved by technology

However, in the conventional pneumatic tire described above, deterioration of durability of the tire due to the omission of the bead fillers is a concern.

example

[0153]FIG. 14 is a table showing results of performance tests of pneumatic tires according to the embodiment of the technology. FIG. 15 is an explanatory diagram illustrating bead cores of a test tire of Conventional Example.

[0154]In the performance test, a plurality of types of test tires having a tire size of 205 / 55R16 were evaluated for (1) tire mass and (2) durability.

[0155](1) The tire mass is calculated as the average value of the masses of five test tires having the same structure. The measurement results are expressed as index values and evaluated with the Conventional Example being assigned as the reference (100). The smaller the values in this evaluation, the lighter the test tires are, which is preferred. Additionally, when the index is 99 or less, it can be said that the weight of the tire is reduced compared to that of the existing tire structure including bead fillers.

[0156](2) In the evaluation for durability, the test tires are mounted on rims having a rim size of 16...

Abstract

In a pneumatic tire, bead cores have a wire arrangement. In a cross-sectional view in a tire meridian direction, a tangential line and a contact point are defined. The tangential line contacts an innermost layer in a radial direction and the wire cross sections innermost and outermost in a lateral direction in the wire arrangement from a rim fitting surface side. The contact point of the tangent line is on the wire cross section on the outermost side. A gauge Wh in the lateral direction from the contact point to the rim fitting surface and an outer diameter φ of the bead wire have a relationship 2.0≤Wh / φ≤15.0. A radial height H2 of a contact portion between a body portion and a turned back portion of a carcass layer has a relationship 0.80≤H2 / H1≤3.00 to a radial height H1 of the bead cores.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The technology relates to a pneumatic tire and particularly relates to a pneumatic tire that can improve durability of the tire while a weight of the tire is reduced.BACKGROUND ART[0002]In recent years, for weight reduction of a tire, weight reduction of bead portions has been advanced. As a conventional pneumatic tire, a technology described in Japan Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2008-149778 has been known. In Japan Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2008-149778, bead fillers are omitted to reduce a weight of the tire.[0003]However, in the conventional pneumatic tire described above, deterioration of durability of the tire due to the omission of the bead fillers is a concern.SUMMARY[0004]The technology provides a pneumatic tire that can improve durability of the tire while a weight of the tire is reduced.[0005]A pneumatic tire according to an embodiment of the technology includes bead cores, a carcass layer, and a rim cushion rubber. The bead cores are forme...
